He had never seen it since 1970 and had no clue that it was still there in the garage.

That is almost hard to believe.

No part of this story or the actual find was embellished or made up and am only repeating what I was told. That being said, I would have to agree with you and found it hard to believe myself especially being a multi car owner himself. My tech was there on the first visit and Don Stowers on the second to back everything up.

It’s a million to one shot, of course it is hard to believe :-)

I'm glad I renewed my subscription just in time to get mine .. such a neat story and an amazing car and it couldn't have found a more deserving set of owners

Got my block back from the machine shop today. Very nice original MQ paint code still intact. Also found a "C 3 0" written on the front driver's side of the block. The engine was assembled on January 23rd so it is not a casting or assembly scribble.
